Wednesday 13th November

 An overcast, damp and misty day with very light winds.

Derek Coleman sent in this account from his day birding Islay: "Spent this afternoon in the hides at Gruinart. The number of birds was just amazing; highlights were male Hen Harrier, nine Little Egrets together and four Gadwall"

Gary T. was out and about finding his usual 2 adult White-tailed Eagles on Loch Indaal up towards Bridgend, where he also saw the Kingfisher again. His best find however, was a first calendar year Little Gull just north of Bruichladdich, which stayed long enough for me to pop out and see it later on - thanks Gary!

Mary-Ann Featherstone has her birding friend Bob Brown staying and he sent a few photos for the blog. Of particular note are 5 Crossbills on the way to Kintra and 120 plus Fieldfares at Ardbeg.
